Calling all OL'ers......:)

Holy shiit, I think something finally clicked for me in terms of dropping underneath the bar. Hit 110kg full clean without overpulling it.
Only bad news is since my vacation my leg strength disappeared and I barely FS 120 today, BS 130. I can still power clean 110-120 alot easier than I can full clean it but i'm so ecstatic that i'm dropping under the bar.



I still can't understand how after 7 weeks of not working out, my quad strength plummeted yet everything else didn't. I tested my pulling and got an easy 200kg snatch grip DL.

so are you like some kind of android or something? dafuq....

[strengthsthetic]

And I though my back:leg strength ratio was crazy........

to be fair though it's probably decreased this year from hardly pulling and squatting all the time

Week 2 of LSUS program. It sucks slightly less this week. Not nearly stroking out between each set.

I was making caruso jokes in the ICU with my dad about him being alive was a "stroke"...........


of good luck


























YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[forcefedfreak]

wait did your dad have a stroke?

[schabowy90]

Did any of you listen to wl talk Friday night? W Donny.




Btw scarb I think there's something to be said for building a dead lift base that it'll never truly go away. Kind of like how some old lifters in their 40s and 50s who have been retired for 15+ years can power snatch like 100kg.

Once you program your body, there will always be remnants of that strength.

[ftwrestler]

To that I give an apathetic "meh".

Agreed. He has good energy when he lifts but he could do with a dose of humility

What the **** did I just read?

[Keefinator02]

Question Here.

What percentage of the full lifts can you guys hit from the hip, hang, and knee compared to the full lifts?

When I say hip snatch and clean I mean when you are standing statically in the power position then exploding and going under.

I am doing the LSUS intermediate program, and have just finished the weeks of tens.

Those weeks included hip snatches and hip cleans with a % of your max in that exercise.

I set it up as percentages of my max full clean and snatch, which I am thinking was incorrect but I managed to hit all my lifts every week for the most part.

I ended the week of tens with the heaviest weights which are:

180 Hip Clean 6 X 5
135 Hip Snatch 6 X 5

My max full clean and snatch are 225 and 175.

I am just wondering what percentages are your max hip, knee, and hang snatch and clean compared to the full lifts.

Sup bros?

Starting week 4 of the 9 week Kara's 9 Weeks of Heaven program Catalyst Athletics today. Snatch has never felt better. Snatched 90 kg and clean and jerked 120 on Saturday.

Also this cycle has hands down the hardest barbell complexes I've ever done. Once a week the following or similar:

3 power snatch + 3 snatch grip push press + 3 overhead squats at 70%
3 power clean + 3 front squat + 3 jerk at 70%

I encourage you all to give that a try sometime if you want to kill yourself.

my best hang snatch is 90kg
my best hang clean is 115, but ive not done a hang clean in a long time and i am actually going to do them this week.

best snatch 105
best clean and jerk 126

they were both high hangs, like resting just below my hip crease

[brahskimoseph]
